But right now, I don't know any other way to detect a multisession disc...HELP

I'm trying to recall the details when I was working on that stuff... yes, there was a problem with trying to determine a multisession disc.
But, do you want to detect if it is still open for further burning, or whether it has multiple tracks burnt on it?
'cddetect' returns some info about the tracks, I don't know if that is helpful.

I don't have to stay with cdrkit, I can move over to cdrtools if that is better. Note about the new program names in cdrkit, I kept the old names as symlinks, so no need to use the new names -- makes it easier for us to swap between the two packages._________________http://bkhome.org/news/

I have to do some burning in dingo before 0.7.
Now you can choose cdrtools or cdrkit. I guess something must be better since someone forked the original project. I remember Nathan spoke positive about wodim when he made his GpRip.

Note, with v0.6, I was able to burn an iso file to DVD, but when I wanted to burn a directory it got to the final "burn data" button then failed -- a error message popped up briefly in a window then immediately disappeared. That was using cdrtools._________________http://bkhome.org/news/

I just posted to your blog but figured I'd post here too. I've burned at least 10 data dvds, all of which contained directories. I used Pburn 0.6 and prior in Dingo w/ cdrkit. I didn't experience any problems whatsoever.

Cdrtools makes life easier for now, but I'll try to pass the cdrkit-trouble as well. The problem so far has been to detect if a CD is a valid multisession disc (without using cdrecord -msinfo...). I thought I got it when 'cddetect' looked for burnmode 21. But then I realized that cdrecord parameter -data forces burnmode 1, and disc still supports multisession.

Pburn is just what puppy needed, but I have noticed a strange problem when trying to burn a cd while my ide hard drive (ntfs XP) is mounted. At the checking media pop up there is a 5 to 10 minute pause while pburn tries to determine whether the hard drive is a cd/dvd drive.

Another problem is that when the message lines of x out of y Mb burned are displayed they are unreadable as only the top half of each line is shown (as if the new line is not printed far enough below the previous one due to insufficient line spacing).
